Genshin Impact's BIGGEST DRAMA With The Sonic Fandom

[@RTheStoryteller7]

What's even stupider is that, after the Game Awards fiasco, Sonic Frontiers got another chance to win another award on The Steam Awards with their musics getting nominated. They made another push just like TGA, but less agressive this time. And the result is.... they lost to Final Fantasy VII: Remake, a game that was released in 2020 that just got ported on Steam that year. Which in my opinion, it's far more insulting than Genshin because at least Genshin still have monthly updates and going strong during that year. It's safe to say, Sonic Fandom will have a huge *grudge* against Genshin fandom for a while now, but as a fan of both sides? i can't help but laugh

[@soulcyclone360]

I mean, if that side of the fandom wants to have a grudge about a starting a pointless war and losing, then I don't think sympathy is on the table for them.

[@Syiepherze]

I'm a member of both fandoms, and it really sucked to see both communities warring over something so trivial. Like, most Sonic fans really liked Frontiers, because it really felt like a step in the right direction for the future of Sonic games. It's not a perfect game, but it still does a lot of things right, so we enjoyed it. Like aside from the insane soundtrack, the storyline was cool (it was co-written by a long-time writer for the Sonic comics), the character writing felt solid, and the open-world-style gameplay felt fresh (and when combined with the ability to play as different characters in the new DLC, it was like a spiritual successor to the Sonic Adventure games) So understandably Sonic fans like myself were very passionate about the game and are hopeful for the franchise's future. But the Sonic Sweep thing did go too far. I just hope there isn't any bad blood between us fandoms anymore lol

[@DrCrimson_]

Yea, people on both sides started taking it too seriously and too far.

[@ishinomorileon]

Actually, what Sonicsweep did was something worse and I'd think to this day they had left a huge deal of bad blood, at least on China side. The racial slurr thing? It was done on a very very bad timing. During that time, they had a, allegedly, respectable leader recently passed away. And the country was mourning solemnly. With the insults throwing at their internet at the time, this triggered a massive nationalistic, patriotic movement from them. To them, the retaliation is a patriotic duty because they felt that they were attacked by the White imperialists (well, that and highschool kids don't have anything to do during the impromptu dayoffs given nationwide at the time). Now, never underestimate their capability for grudges and hate when you offend their ego, especially when it comes to their nationalitic pride. They can be worse than 4chan when triggered.

[@alilith3476]

[@Kaltsit-]

Same. I voted for Sonic Frontiers over Genshin just because I wanted Sonic to get a win, it’s been a while and I’m in both fandoms. It seriously sucked. Plus when it was happening, I knew that Sonic was gonna lose because they wouldn’t be quiet. I knew the Genshin fandom didn’t care, barely any knew about it until the toxic Sonic fans started saying stuff. It’s so sad.

[@WarsunGames]

I am not a fan of either. So i am impartial. Genshin Impact should not have even been on the list. It was not a Game for 2022. Also Even if people voted for Genshin. It would not have won. It was in no way as fan as Sonic Frontiers. It just proves sometimes you do need a judge.

Charlie called him out, and told everyone that he commit cuckoldry with a lot of women than his girlfriend. Also, he got karma, watching his girlfriend getting railed by other dudes.

[@Ren.3.10.11]

Unlike Sonic, Genshin didn't even mention about the voting event on their fb or twıtter, until the final result was announced, so the BRIBERY was HOAX. If they actually tried to make players vote, Genshin would have won since round 1. But no, most Genshin voters only knew about it after Sonic fans made the ruckus. The rewards were roughly the same amount of every after major updates, and you would get it whether Genshin won or lost (since it was already nominated), regardless you voted or not. Most Genshin voters simply wanted Sonic to lose.

[@HectorCotto97]

As someone who was playing both Sonic Frontiers and Genshin Impact when this happened, I was both surprised and incredibly confused when I found out that out of nowhere there was some kind of beef going on between the fandoms. Personally I don't really care about any of those award shows nonsense so this honestly didn't even come close to bothering me. What DID bother me is the unreasonable hate towards Genshin, the blind haters is what annoys me so when those people don't get what they want it brings me a bit of satisfaction. I honestly love both games I really do, I just wish people didn't try to ruin them with stupid petty sh!t that has nothing to do with the games themselves. In my opinion one of the worst mistakes you can make is to judge a game or a show entirely based on the bad side of their fandom and not the game/show themselves for what they are. An example of this is Undertale, it's a genuinely a good game but if you ask around you'll more then likely hear more about the fandom then the game itself.

Yeah, i mean if i poisened a bag of apples does that mean all bag of apples or apples in general is poisonous? No, you still know that the apple is eatable and taste good.

Yeah that really threw me for a loop in an unpleasant way too. The thing is, ANY fandom is going to have a higher percentage of autistic people than non-fandom environments, because media is something that's easy to hyperfixate or have a special interest in. So the sort of disparaging way he seemed to use the term was unsettling since fandom is usually a good place to hang out as a neurodivergent person.

if sonic using bots is true then the chinese bots spotted in genshin votes is true too

[@tak9273]

@@mio3199 of course both side was using bots, but there are a major difference between there are bots and abusing bots. Genshin vote count was increasing steadily while sonic vote count suddenly jump high at some occasions and drop low.

The sonic Fandom did the worst thing possible They poke the Beehive that's it's the Genshin Impact Community

[@Mayank_MJ]

Bee hive? It's the goddam megahive of murder hornets

[@boss5718]

A modern day Icarus. The Sonic fandom shot themselves in the collective foot.

[@pix763]

19:25 Mujin: Guys we finally jave a new band member joining us in Discord. Bran: *neurons activated*

[@EngelAguilar]

One correction: genshin NEVER gave us primos for winning, it was for being NOMINATED in those awards Imagine Genshin giving primos for free every time we vote for them... that's not the Genshin we know xD

[@jupiterlike.theplanet]

what’s even crazier was that it happened around my birthday so seeing angry sonic fans was the best birthday gift i ever gotten. i love fandom wars.

[@ducks7015]

The fact the sonic fandom was about to have one of their biggest W and dubs ever, but lost it because some few fuckers started talking shit. The hubris and sadness I was feeling from both ends was hilarious

[@spyrothetimelord]

I think that's the thing though, the community nor genshin themselves was bribing, players just highlighted "hey if we actually win we will definitely get thank you primos" because that's pretty consistent with how they operate. I wouldn't consider that bribery. Wondering if anyone will make a video about the back and forth with the Spider-Man fandom

[@spyrothetimelord]

You know what's funny is I wasn't really participating and only vaguely remember the "war". I only thought it was them beefing a little and jokingly, not like this. I recall CCs saying hey wait yo let's vote for genshin so we can get freemo gems! I literally told myself "I don't have to vote, the fandom is strong enough that I won't have to do anything" LOL. I also vaguely remember seeing people talking about how the votes were hidden, etc. 😂

[@bagel5056]

Yeah, is it really bribing when basically no one gave a shit about the award show until the Sonic fans got racist? Lol Literally no one voted until that happened so the freemos aren’t really a bribery ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@angelichobi__18]

I had a vague idea of what was happening last year for the tga’s but I was too focused on finishing high school (which I graduated last year) to even care about it. It’s hilarious how the sonic fandom genuinely thought they had a chance when their community is 10x less than Genshin 💀

[@Lordmaster316]

whats wrong about what Bran said about "bribery" Genshin don't offer Primogems for winning award its just that when Genshin won an award for the 1st time they gave a reward so after that players kept thinking/wanting they will give rewards again if they won another reward so they vote Genshin for the reward

[@ijustexist3866]

Genshin fans: *arguing with each other about who knows what* Toxic Sonic fans: *gets too cocky* Genshin fans: So you have chosen…death The people who has no idea what’s going on:…f%(k this sh!t I’m out!

[@zikenn1846]

That game awards was the funniest thing I've seen in 2022. I wonder what will happen this year with Star Rail😂

[@squee-g1658]

Unleashed was goated. Hot take: the warehog was fun Also I’m still surprised/disappointed there were no fanart of traveler,paimon,sonic and chip having lunch and hanging out or something

[@kingdomchains]

I got a lot of laughs from the war ngl like some sonic fans were being funny, the genshin fans were also being a lil funny

[@alicebunnymera]

damn thats a lot of ableism against autistic people. So much of that video was just really uncomfortable to watch because of it.

[@JunoEcho]

Love how i get an ad for Honkai Star Rail with Bran as soon as i click the video (fun fact i was just playing it before taking a break to watch yt😂)

[@XMitrilXPL]

Considering that Genshin Impact is constantly updated with new content, I think it should have been in the player's award And these content updates aren't small. They are getting big maps and stories. So I think that games like that should be included and it would be unfair to not do so.

[@shironnkaito7364]

Hahahaha. I remember that I had interactions with the Sonic fandom before the whole Genshin Community went to war against them. Honestly, Sonic Frontier could've won the award if the Sonic Community would leave the Genshin Fans alone. 🤣 We were just minding our own business voting Genshin Impact. EDIT: I'm so happy to be reminded and be in the middle of that moment.

[@cristianovogt5586]

Nah, they wouldnt.

[@ozzcoremidmx8287]

I think if Hoyoverse didn't give any primogems for the nomination (they gave primos for the nomination, not for winning tho) it would have been a bigger slap in the face to the Sonic Community.

[@yuki97kira]

Idk it was happening as well, it was just like the congratulating meme from the office(?). That was me when i got primos

[@b.r.52]

I'm repeating my words on Mujin's post: "The Rule34 art from this clash was monstrous as well."

[@danielferrieri7434]

Genshin Impact Rule34: Chad Sonic Rule34: Virgin

[@lucci_1406]

04:23, nah, it was definitely Sonic mania bro

[@bobjones4469]

No way, if they didn't give a reward for winning, Genshin players would riot. Also, the devs didn't say, "Vote for us, if we win we'll give you primos," they said AFTER winnning, "Cool, we won, here's an appreciation reward." People didn't know they would get rewarded, although some may have expected it, and boy would they had been pissed if they didn't get rewarded.

[@wiseathena97]

Damn I was considering subbing to Mujin until I heard the weird shots against autism. Reminds me of a 15 year old trying to sound edgy by taking shots at people for having a disability. Gross

[@fatefan7874]

I was part of the community when it was the aniversary thing. While I didn't know anything about the classroom thing just the 2* note on playstore and how luch they were angry. But in this oh god I heard every single thing and laughed so much. I didn't participate bc it was just insanity but it was so funny. The best part is when the sonic fandom actually still believed they could win after taunting and accusing genshin's of using bots. Which is ridiculous bc even without they would horribly lose xD

[@angular2022]

To be honest,I started playing Genshin 6 months ago,and I didn't hear of all this drama up until now 💀

[@gentlecard_tom]

okay from this point of view, Sonic Fans started the war. Genshin fans were just fighting back

[@5h0ckblock]

For clarity, Squid is the name of a miniboss in Sonic Frontiers. Its kinda funny because when you first find it the camera zooms in and the word squid just pops up.

[@ajseal81]

I remember playing genshin and getting so much rewards for winning the vote and the PlayStation. I was like cool, free primogems. I had no idea some things like this was happening.

[@Razorrrrrrrrrrrr]

We as the Genshin community seem to basically have the combined power of the entire swifty and Army fanbases, a force powerful enough to topple the government and billion dollar companys within 24 hours x

[@Azura_009]

As a sonic fan I never thought there was a war between genshin impact and sonic frontier's 😮

[@davinlee3412]

It's the Sonic Fandom that started it. I don't care of Genshin win or lose, but they're so toxic that everyone united and managed to give them the Elemental Burst with +9999999 Damage back on them.

The character development of bran, from hating the band members to loving them, im so we- i mean moved , yes yes, moved

[@kickbackph8020]

Didn't really expect to see FeFe being part of sonicsweep tbh

[@AmethystLeslie]

A thing that video failed to mention was that Scarmouche was coming soon, so that was another motivator to earn Primos. Least, that's how I saw it. Also, probably the funniest thing was the outcome to this. The letter that gave us the 800 Primos was about being nominated for the award. Not for WINNING it, only NOMINATED.

[@Zeronichi]

can't wait for this year for Sonic Superstars vs Honkai: Star Rail

[@j4nk3n]

People forget that a community as large as genshin is bound to have its fair share of psychopaths, out of millions of people the odds say you can probably find every kind of weirdo in there somewhere!

i dont even play genshin but sonic fans are actually so immature wtf

[@AHandleWithCare]

5 days late, but the bribery accusation is what put me into the war lmao. I remember linking to people that Genshin has lost awards in the past and gave out primos anyways. Winning doesn't matter.

[@iBe_Vybin]

The fact Genshin won out of spite (and primogems)

[@CrashDAMFCourse]

Sonic Has 2 Movies and a TV Show. Genshin Making all this money to have nothing else outside of it. People still look at Genshin as a meme joke in the gaming sphere Genshin survives on its own but thats it.

[@kerijonkagerou7718]

No cause they really thought they could win against a MOBILE GAME. A GACHA MOBILE GAME,WITH AN ALMOST ETERNALLY ONLINE COMMUNITY😅😅😅😅like even i could tell that it was going to fall that way cause yeah, poking a bear isnt really something thats considered a really useful survival instinct😅😅😅😅😅

[@zerotodona1495]

I’m literally part of both fandoms. Thankfully I’m not overly crazy of either.

[@serelylyhikari9771]

Literally the only way I knew this was happening back then was cause of Tumblr, and even then i didn’t know to what extent it was going. I just knew bots were involved somehow. Hopefully this doesn’t happen again with the upcoming game awards. Not that I’ll know anything about that until someone posts something in Tumblr and then months later know the details of it through a video. I’m just going to stay in my little corner of the internet. :]

[@goldenpain18]

as far as i remember hoyoverse never said : " we will give 800 primos to all traveler if we win the awards " and btw the guy on the video (GorTheMovieGod) do a reaction video on it lol

Do Sonic fans even know where SONIC CAME FROM😂😂
